“I’m very satisfied. Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Xie.”

“I heard that Ah Yu’s cooking skills are very good. I wonder what’s the difference between your cooking and the food here?” Mrs. Xie asked curiously.

Ye Muyu thought for a moment. She could not overshadow the host, so she simply replied, “Mrs. Xie, the food I make is just some home-cooked dishes. For example, your chef cooked the fresh shrimp and asparagus really well. He preserved the freshness of the shrimp and the crispness of the asparagus. When combined, the taste is refreshing and delicious.”

“If it was at my house, when there aren’t any fresh shrimps, I would use mushrooms as a substitute and cook a pot of soup with bamboo shoots. It would also be a dish. There’s no particular technique for this.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie replied, “That’s true. After all, you’re just cooking for your family.”

“I wonder if Ah Yu has any thoughts of opening a restaurant?”

Ye Muyu was slightly surprised, not understanding why Madam Xie would suddenly discuss this matter at the dining table.

“I was rude. Ah Yu, don’t mind me. After dinner, do you have time to talk to

“You’re too serious, Mrs. Xie. I’m happy to be able to talk to you.” Ye Muyu did not know why, but seeing that Mrs. Xie’s eyes were clear and did not look like she was up to any tricks, Ye Muyu agreed.

Mrs. Xie nodded in satisfaction and even personally picked up some food for Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu hurriedly thanked her. Feeling the curious gazes from the two young ladies of the Xie family, she was a little embarrassed. Even her own family members were probably curious about Mrs. Xie’s behavior.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xie was only enthusiastic for a while before quietly accompanying everyone to eat.

Ye Muyu ate slowly. Madam Liu asked her in a low voice,” What’s with Mrs.

“Mother, I don’t know either. We can only take it one step at a time. Anyway, there’s nothing they can use against us. Besides, I think Mrs. Xie really has something to tell me.”

“That’s true. The Xie family has a big business. We’re not even as well-dressed as their maidservants.” Madam Liu was relieved.

Ye Muyu explained in a low voice, “Mother, maidservants can also affect their reputation. If the maidservants are dressed in rags, people will gossip about them. Therefore, the more wealthy the family is, the more expenses they have.

We have to earn more money.”

“You’re right. I’ll go back tomorrow and see if there’s any land. I’ll buy more. There’s also the hillside. I have to make use of it. In the past, it was only used as firewood. I only cut down some trees when I was building houses. Now that I think about it, it’s a waste.” Madam Liu’s horizons were broadened, and she was no longer limited to 180 square feet of land she had had in the past.

Ye Muyu had always wanted to make use of the firewood mountain. Hearing her words, he nodded. “Mother, you’re right. I have the same idea. Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

“Alright, eat more. I heard that this shrimp is very nourishing, and isn’t this chicken too tender?” Madam Liu sighed and told Ye Muyu to eat more.

Madam Qian had already eaten quite a lot. Because there were so many dishes, even if she only picked the dishes in front of her, she was already full.

Compared to the silence in the female tables, the male tables were much livelier.

Ye Hao had been helping Shen Qin to drink. He did not say anything. Besides drinking, he was also eating to make sure he did not get drunk.

“Master Xie, how much do you know about the Wang family?” Shen Qin asked directly, saving him the time to ask the Xie family.

“The Wang family has recently opened up shops in the nearby counties. There are two grocery stores selling good materials like silks, porcelain, vases, and so on. It seems that they have a new merchant ship..”
